Overview
In its desert setting, the University manages water as a scarce and shared resource, conserving and reusing it across its campus.
The University pursues this goal across its teaching, its scientific research, its campus operations and its service to the community. The sections below set out how it delivers the goal, the activities held during the year, the research its academics published, and the policies that underpin its commitment.
How the University delivers this goal
- Treats and reuses water for irrigation and vehicle washing through the governmental treated-water network.
- Operates processes that prevent untreated or polluted water entering the water system.
- Provides free drinking-water points for students, staff and visitors.
- Applies water-conscious building standards and drought-tolerant desert landscaping.
- Runs water-awareness campaigns on campus and in the wider community.
Activities in 2022/23
- Treated water from the governmental treated-water network was reused across the campus for landscape irrigation and for washing the University’s vehicles and shuttle-bus fleet, reducing demand on fresh water in FUE’s desert setting.
